Danger when overcoming stairs/obstacles
WARNING
Risk of falling in case of lacking assistance. Do not ascend or descend stairs without the assistance
of attendants. Make use of ramps or elevators whenever available. If wheelchair-friendly access is
missing, two attendants must carry the wheelchair over the obstacle.
WARNING
Risk of falling as a result of incorrectly set anti-tipper. If only one attendant is available when ascend-
ing or descending stairs, an incorrectly set anti-tipper can lead to severe falls. Adjust the anti-tipper
so that it does not come in the way of the steps during transport. Afterwards, swing the anti-tipper
back to its operational position.
WARNING
Risk of falling as a result of lifting the wheelchair incorrectly. Attendants must lift the wheelchair only
by parts that are firmly attached . If your wheelchair is equipped with height-adjustable push handles,
ensure that the clamping levers are firmly tightened.
WARNING
Risk of tipping when using lifting platforms. Ensure that the anti-tipper is outside the danger-area.
Danger when getting into the wheelchair

plates should be flipped up before getting into or out of the wheelchair.
